Nicole Kidman Shares a Rare Personal Update — and Fans Wonder What It Means for Her and Keith Urban. ML
After Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s breakup was confirmed, the Babygirl actress shared how she was doing in a conversation with Ariana Grande.
Nicole Kidman is not following a script when it comes to her real life.
After the Babygirl star filed for divorce from Keith Urban, she told Ariana Grande in a conversation for Interview, which took place Oct. 19, that she was “hanging in there.”
Elsewhere in the interview, which was published Nov. 24, Nicole—who shares daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14 with Keith— shared that she was surrounded by a great support system this summer as she filmed Practical Magic 2 amid the initial months of her separation. (On Sept. 29, E! News had confirmed that she and the “Somebody Like You” singer had been living apart “since the beginning of summer.”)
“I felt protected and loved,” Nicole added of being on set with costars Sandra Bullock, Joey King and Maisie Williams. “It was just very, very safe.”
Since her separation from her husband of over 19 years, Nicole has kept a low profile, save for a few public appearances including attending a Chanel fashion show alongside her daughters during Paris Fashion Week Oct. 7.
Amid the former couple’s separation, E! News learned that The Killing of the Sacred Deer star initially attempted to salvage her marriage, before ultimately filing for divorce.
The 58-year-old has also had full custody of the former couple’s teenagers since their separation, as they resided in their Nashville residence while Keith, also 58, maintained a separate living situation in the same city. In Nicole’s Sept. 30 divorce filing, she and Keith mutually signed off on a proposed custody agreement that has their daughters staying with Nicole for 306 days of the year as the “primary residential parent,” while they will spend 59 days with their dad.
For Keith’s part, he had stirred up dating rumors with guitarist Maggie Braugh after changing the lyrics to his song “The Fighter,” to give her a shoutout in September.
However, Maggie’s friend Alexandra Kay subsequently confirmed in an appearance on Taste of Country Nights Oct. 23 that a budding romance between Keith and her pal was “absolutely not true.”
Keith also slammed his audience’s speculation when it came to his song choices, telling a crowd during an Oct. 17 concert, “Stop reading s–t into it.”
